It's a game for North Texas. It's also a paycheck.

But North Texas athletic director Rick Villarreal sees the season opener at Texas on Saturday as something a bit more -- an opportunity.

The road to Austin may be a new one for the Mean Green. But its a road familiar to Villarreal. Opportunity awaits.

When Villarreal was an associate athletic director at Southern Miss, the Golden Eagles signed up for some big paychecks against national powers. Southern Miss, then an unheralded independent, visited Florida State in 1989 and both Alabama and Auburn in 1990.

The Golden Eagles, shockingly, won all three games, whipping then No. 6 ranked Florida State 30-26 in the 1989 season opener, then toppling No. 13 Alabama 27-24 and No. 15 Auburn 13-12 the following season.

  When are the other RB’s like Ragsdale coming back. What was his injury, he’s been out the majority of the season? Any of our other RB’s due back? Crazy. Porter doing incredible but like to see him get a rest at times, shoulder already banged up.

  The Beavers off a tough loss against their cross state rival come calling. Hopefully we can get a good crowd, but the week of Thanksgiving...I have doubts.

  My tweets don’t load anymore. It’s a screenshot. Put it here instead of the Football forum. Thought this was pretty funny.

  I relieved we won despite no one getting any minutes this game.
